Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division
Here’s a web site reporting on reported hazards from the chemical dihydrogen monoxide. This bears close examination, and then take all due precautions you feel may be appropriate! Just a few items noted on the site include the following:
DHMO contributes to global warming and the “Greenhouse Effect”, and is one of the so-called “greenhouse gases.”
DHMO is an “enabling component” of acid rain — in the absence of sufficient quantities of DHMO, acid rain is not a problem.
DHMO is a causative agent in most instances of soil erosion — sufficiently high levels of DHMO exacerbate the negative effects of soil erosion.
Measurable levels of DHMO have been verified in ice samples taken from both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps.
Hopefully these items will give you a taste of the quality of the concerns here. Check out the site, it is worthy of close examination!
The style and content of this site resembles many others that can be found online, and should be salutory example of the genre. Unfortunately, many take this sort of thing extremely seriously, and even attempt to turn their concerns into ever more elaborate schemes for regulation and micromanagement to the detriment of freedom and the depletion of the taxpayer’s wallet.
Finally, do recall that Dihydrogen Monoxide, etc = H2O!
